Many people in our county are very grateful for the COVID-19 Pandemic vaccinations and for the early Spring Days. They want to get outside now and enjoy the weather.
Arkansas is host to several horticulture events. From Daffodil Festivals to wildflowers and new leaves on the trees, our great state is diverse in its beauty. Some places that display our natural beauty are the Garvin Gardens, Moss Mountain Farm, the Gardens at Crystal Bridges, the Botanical Gardens, Wildwood Park, the Gardens at the State Capitol, and the tulips at Salem Courthouse.
The Mountain View Iris Festival will happen on Friday, April 30th and on Saturday May 1, 2021. The Mountain View Iris Society is one of the sponsors of this event. They preserve and cultivate over 200 + varieties of the tall, bearded iris flowers throughout displays and in individual yards in town. “Color the Memories” is the theme which displays many colors of flowers.
